Angelika Burtscher and Daniele Lupo
are designers and curators. Since 2003 they have been sharing their ideas and working methodologies, experimenting with a long-term form of work and friendship. They are co-founders and artistic directors of Lungomare, a platform for cultural production and design. Their work and research focuses largely on how social and cultural projects impact the public sphere and shape our coexistence. Their work has always followed a transdisciplinary approach. Hence, after running the design studio Lupo Burtscher for almost twenty years, they decided to found the Lungomare Cooperative in 2021 in order to interweave their design practice more closely with their curatorial practice, working across an extended network of people and partnerships. Together with their work on exhibition and publishing projects, they deal with communication and awareness-raising campaigns as well as site-specific artistic productions. They teach at various universities, e.g. at the Art University Linz and the Faculty of Design and Arts at the Free University of Bolzano.
